Apple-teeny
Over the weekend, a Detroit Applebees restaurant (or, as I like to call them, Applebooze) mistakenly served alcohol to a 15-month-old boy, who had ordered apple juice. The boy's mother told ABC News that she noticed something was up, when her son started acting tipsy at the table. "He was saying hi and bye to the walls... He eventually laid his head down on the table and we thought maybe he was just sleepy." But, when tested at the hospital later that night, the boy was found to have a 0.1 blood alcohol level.
Been there, brother. Might I suggest you follow that apple juice up with a mimosa tomorrow morning?
The scary thing is that this is not the first incident of its sort for Applebees... or juvenile apple juice orders, for that matter. In 2006, a New York Applebooze restaurant mistakenly served a Long Island Iced Tea to a 5-year-old, who had attempted the harzardous drink order. And, in 2007, a restaurant in California handed a sippy cup full of Margaritas to a toddler, who had ordered - wait for it - apple juice again.
Personally, I blame Raffi. "I like to oot oot oot ooples and boonoonoos. I like to ate ate ate aples and banaynays." Now, if that song doesn't teach kids to get drunk on apple juice, I don't know what does.
